The senses of warmth, cold, pain, and touch (pressure) located in the skin.Skin sensations are the source of relatively simple experiences such as itching and tingling, pain due to injury, and feelings of hot and cold. Though they often play a crucial role in our lives, we depend far less on them than on sight and hearing for our knowledge of the external world. However, one of these senses, the sense of touch, is more closely related to perception than the others, since we can often identify objects by the way they feel.
